However, when fed to img@src, the resource name is parsed as expected.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: No spec change. Rationale: The behavior of <img src> and <img srcset> differs when they are passed nonconforming URLs, but <img src> and <img srcset> behave the same when passed conforming URLs. We can't change <img src>'s behavior due to backwards compat constraints, whereas there is no legacy content using <img srcset>. 79834 2 w3c 2012-12-10 14:30:26 +0000 I agree with the rationale, but would really like a non-normative notes added to the spec clarifying this (i.e., this is a feature, not a bug! :) ). 81541 3 eoconnor 2013-01-17 18:13:53 +0000 I think it would be reasonable for tutorials and other supplementary material to mention the inconsistency between src="" and srcset="" when passed non-conforming URLs. That said, I don't think the spec needs to go out of its way to point this out. 81547 4 w3c 2013-01-17 19:34:34 +0000 (In reply to comment #3) > I think it would be reasonable for tutorials and other supplementary > material to mention the inconsistency between src="" and srcset="" when > passed non-conforming URLs.
